Hi,

Please can someone explain the behaviour described below?

I wish to create a subclass of FloatArray for a dynamic system simulation. When creating the class with #subclass: the method is automatically changed to #variableWordSubclass: as follows

FloatArray variableWordSubclass: #DynamicVariable

That is fine. But when I wish to create an instance

dv2 _ DynamicVariable new: 2

I get an error telling me that #new: is not understood. However #new: is understood by the superclass #FloatArray. Why?

And, by the way, the method #variableWordSubclass cannot be found with Method Finder. Why?

Many thanks in advance.

Joaquin
